She was very nice to me, with no interest in doing anything but meeting and greeting and talking with the fans she seemed almost surprised to learn she had. Ms.Cartwright made a lifelong fan of me.

There is a KZfaq video of an interview that features Angela and Veronica, and as other people here noted, both are marvelous and very down to earth. As someone with 4 sisters, I was pleasantly surprised to see how well they get along (I hope that wasn't an act) and they have apparently gotten along all their lives. It was kind of interesting how Veronica related that there was no chance for a real sibling rivalry even when they often auditioned for the same role. Both accepted that her sister didn't get "the" role because she was so much better, it was usually as simple as being the older or younger sister. And I agree, Veronica is a very under rated actress, and it truly is amazing the roles she has played. I would love to read a joint sister memoir.

Look luv, `Rod Taylor was actually carrying a double down the stairs because Tippi was in hospital suffering from exhaustion`..I`d like to know what really happened...if Hedren was used by the director as a guinea pig and expired during the unexpected `real` bird attack? There is a photo of her (appears dead) lying on a bed at Universal Studios after having shot the fatal scene. The upshot is probably that she was taken to hospital to recuperate. If she had for any reason not pulled through what do you think they would have said? She was a suicide...having a hard time with the role..problems with her marriage and money..etc. Hitchcock took unacknowledged chances with actresses. I doubt Hedren has even been told what actually happened.

The stairs went backwards toward the front door (didn’t match the exterior), the mother’s bedroom was on the first floor next to the front door, what was that wooden door thing next to the piano. And the outside chimney didn’t match where the fireplace would be. Yet it had a cozy comfortable interior, probably the Brenners were the richest people in town. And they had a dishwasher in 1963 in the middle of nowhere.
